It seems like every time someone drops the ball, someone else comes back and picks it up for the Cards.
Kyle Lohse did the picking up today. He pitched 8 innings and only gave up 2 runs. He retired the last 12 batters he faced. He saved the bullpen and picked up his 8th win on the season. He brought peace to the war-torn countries of the Middle East. Okay, so maybe not that last one, but it was still a good game and a much-needed win for the Redbirds.
Tony called it, "a hell of a ballgame," and I agree.
